MemberMy house has old wiring and I was wondering if the StopWatt would still do anything useful or if it’s more for newer setups. I know it’s supposed to stabilize current and all that but not sure if age of the wiring matters. Just curious if anyone here has older wiring and noticed any difference.

MemberI doubt the age of the wiring changes much with something like this. It either does its thing or it doesn’t, old wires or new. I wouldn’t overthink it.

MemberI’ve got old wiring in my place too and I picked one up mostly out of curiosity. I can’t say I noticed a huge difference right away but after a few weeks things felt a bit more stable, maybe it was just in my head though. Hard to tell if the age of the wiring really matters with this kind of thing.

MemberProbably won’t matter much honestly. These things either do something or they don’t, and I doubt old wiring makes any difference either way.

Dave RunnerMemberOld wiring here too, been running one for a few months now. Didn’t notice anything dramatic but the lights don’t flicker as much when the fridge kicks on. Good enough for me to keep it plugged in.

AnnaKParticipantWiring age probably doesn’t matter much with these things. I’ve got old wiring in my place too and it’s been running fine for a couple months now. No issues at all, seems to do what it says.

Paul847ParticipantHonestly it’s probably not that deep. Old wiring or new, the thing either does something or it doesn’t. Mine’s been plugged in for a while and I haven’t had any issues with it.

Tom BillMemberOld wiring or new, it’s still just a plug-in box. I really doubt the age of the copper matters much to it.

MemberI’ve got old wiring in my place too and I think it works fine either way. I didn’t expect much but after a few weeks I noticed the lights don’t dim as much when I run the vacuum. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

MemberOld wiring, new wiring, it’s all just copper at the end of the day. I’ve got cloth wrapped stuff from the 50s and mine’s been plugged in for a couple months with no issues.

MemberI’d say wiring age probably isn’t the main factor here. I’ve got old wiring and mine seems to work fine, but I wouldn’t expect it to fix any major issues with the house itself.

MemberI’d actually lean the other way on this. My place has older wiring too and I honestly didn’t notice much after plugging it in for a while. Maybe my setup is just too far gone for it to help much, but it didn’t really do anything obvious for me.

MemberOld wiring or new, it’s still just plugging a box into the wall. I doubt the copper cares how old it is.

MemberHonestly I’ve got knob and tube in parts of my place and the StopWatt still seems to do its thing. Green light came on right away and the fridge feels like it runs smoother, but that could just be me.

Oliver BrooksMemberI’ve seen a few people mention it works fine with older wiring, so I’d probably just give it a shot if I were you. Not totally sure how much it really changes things, but seems like it doesn’t hurt to have it plugged in.
24 de July de 2026 at 16:07 #5846Sophie Nguyen
MemberInteresting question. I haven’t really thought about wiring age mattering that much for something like this. It’s just a box that plugs in and lights up, so I’d guess it does its thing regardless.
24 de July de 2026 at 17:12 #5850
Mike in TXMemberI wouldn’t overthink the wiring age thing. It’s just a box that plugs in and lights up green, so it either works or it doesn’t. I’ve got old cloth wiring and mine has been sitting there doing nothing noticeable for months.

Tom BriggsMemberOld wiring or not, the thing just plugs in and sits there. I’ve got a place from the 50s and the green light comes on fine.
I think people expect too much from it. It’s not going to fix actual wiring problems. If your outlets are loose or something, that’s a different issue entirely.
For what it is, it does what it says. I wouldn’t expect miracles, but it’s not hurting anything either.

MemberOlder wiring is probably the least of your worries with something like this. It just plugs in and does whatever it does, the age of the wires doesn’t change that. I’d be more curious if it actually saves anything on the bill rather than just making the lights in the house a bit steadier.
31 de July de 2026 at 13:44 #6194Chris Reed
MemberFair enough, that kinda settles it for me. Sounds like the age of the wiring isnt really the thing that matters with these. I’ll probably just grab one next time I see a deal and not worry about it too much.
